These neem trees grow in sandy places in southern part of India. Generally they grow in sandy plain.Neem trees leaves, flowers, barks and its fruits can be used for the medicinal purposes. Even anyone suffers from small pox these tree leaves are used as a mat for the person to sleep on. The fruit is used to make oil which has bad smell but it is very good to suck the heat of the body if it’s applied on head. Ayurvedic doctors take items of neem trees to make medicine to cure many diseases. To manufacture soap this item of trees help. Those who suffer from skin diseases the doctor advice to use soaps made from neem leaves.Here in India some people even worship neem trees as god and perform rituals to the neem trees.
